We strive to offer our clients not only peace of mind, but also outstanding value. Our aim is always to charge a fair and reasonable rate, but to deliver high-quality services to our clients.

We have vast experience operating in Cape Town and are a preferred supplier for such premier locations as the V&A Waterfront. We have recently expanded our area of operation to include Johannesburg.

We look forward to being of service to you.

We know that security staff are the public face of an event, and are often required to manage a variety of requests and incidents with the utmost diplomacy and the least possible disruption to the event.

Who we are

EventSafe was founded by George Skazikis, who has been in the security industry since 1989. He founded Eventsec in 1996 to provide security for the Baxter Theatre and for events such as the launch of eTV, the opening of Planet Hollywood, the launch of Virgin Atlantic, the Getaway Show, Homemakers Faire, Computer Faire, J&B Met after party and all Ajax Cape Town home matches. He then sold Eventsec in 2001 and moved to the UK to gain experience in the European market. On his return in 2004, George co-founded Amanzi Blue Event Staffing Solutions - now a market leader in the event staffing industry.

EventSafe was soon born when George saw a need in the events industry for a security company supplying more than just security guards. Excellent training ensures that EventSafe staff can offer a better, more effective service to clients. There was also a natural progression to offering static guarding services alongside the event offering.

What we do

Our objectives and those of our officers can be summed up as the four P’s:

Protection of life

Protection of property and premises

Prevention of loss and waste

Prevention of crime

We strive to offer our clients not only peace of mind, but also outstanding value. Our aim is always to charge a fair and reasonable rate, but to deliver high-quality services to our clients.

All our EventSafe officers are fully qualified in accordance with industry requirements. In addition to their security industry certification, our officers receive training in the following areas to ensure that our clients enjoy an excellent standard of service:

Our people

When we recruit EventSafe team members, we look for candidates who are courteous, well presented and well spoken, intelligent, resourceful and pleasant to deal with. Through ongoing management interaction, we develop these characteristics as well as specific client services skills.

At EventSafe we place great emphasis on uniform, both in design and quality. In a society that often judges by first impressions, members of the public will make a connection between professionalism and appearance. A security officer who feels proud wearing a uniform that looks and feels good will perform better.
